Backstage News on the New TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles

Source: Wrestling Observer

– As noted before, TNA will begin a tournament this week on iMPACT to crown the first-ever Knockout Tag Team Champions. This is probably another move being done because of Jeff Jarrett being out of power.

Jarrett was always firm about having only three titles – the World Title, the X Division Title and Tag Team Titles, before he added the Knockouts Title and then the Legends Title. There had been talk at times of having an X Division Tag Team Titles but Jarrett always felt the more belts you have, the less important they are.

Five of the teams in the tournament are Sarita & Taylor Wilde, Awesome Kong & Raisha Saeed, Traci Brooks & Sharmell, Tara & Christy Hemme and The Beautiful People. They might add ODB & Cody Deaner as a team for some comedy.
